The first ‘Thor: The Dark World’ trailer strikes!

Looks like stormy weather ahead for “Thor: The Dark World.” Which should be fun, right? (screen grab)

The first trailer for “Thor: The Dark World” has rumbled onto the Internets with the Sturm und Drang you’d expect from a “Thor” sequel with “Dark” in its title. Of course, you do have Thor (Chris Hemsworth) hammering at “a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself.” And while the flick does reunite the big lug with lady love Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), it could come with the ultimate price. Stormy portents aside, “The Dark World” looks to be gilded and bodacious fun like the first film, especially when you consider a Thor team-up with… well, that would be telling. See the trailer already at iTunes Movie Trailers and bask in its thunder-cracking glory.

And in case you missed it, here are some new images from the film, along with the new poster.

“Thor: The Dark World” hits theaters November 8.
